IACAC is excited to promote Summer Institute hosted by
DePaul University in Chicago, IL from July 20-22, 2016. Last year was the
first time our Summer Institute included high school counselors as well as
college admission professionals, and it was a great success! I’m reaching
out to you because this program is great for graduate students who are in their
internship year, or just finishing up their program.
This professional development opportunity is designed for
high school counselors with zero to three years of school counseling experience
or for any educator in a new role assisting students and their families in the
college search and application process. The three-day event will offer the
opportunity to attend multiple presentations led by Illinois’ leading voices in
college admissions and network with college admission professionals and other
high school counselors. Attendees are also eligible for professional
development hours through ISBE.
Topics
include: ethics in admission, building collaborative relationships, financial
aid, college counseling for diverse student groups, current trends in college
admissions, college counselor responsibilities and timelines, and more! The
program will also include a campus tour of DePaul University.
Feedback from a high school participant last year:
“This was a game changer for me and provided me with so much
important guidance and opportunities for networking that I could not get
through my school's professional development. It was also such a warm community
of professionals--something that I've rarely found in professional development.
Thank you for pushing for this program and for your hard work. It was a
wonderful welcome into the profession.”
The price will be $150, which includes meals and
residence hall accommodations (shared room) for two nights. Due
to the generous support of a NACAC Grant, the IACAC Executive Board, and DePaul
University, we are pleased to offer this subsidized rate for high school
counselors. Preference will be given to counselors currently working in
high schools.
